Now more than ever we all need a break from technology and over thinking. Our busy lifestyles create stress, burnout and disconnect from the body. I believe yoga shouldn’t be intimidating or extreme, and my classes offer an inviting, calm space to reconnect to yourself and your body.

Are you curious about yoga but worry that…

“I can’t do yoga, I’m not flexible”
It’s normal to feel stiff when you start yoga if you haven’t stretched for a while or have been stressed. Most people feel calmer and less tense after a yoga class. Come as you are, do what you can.

“I will be required to do extreme yoga poses”
Not in this class. We keep the practice simple and accessible. This is slow, mindful movement with a focus on your breath. You choose what you do.

“I am not very fit”
This is not fitness or cardio yoga. You can attend even if you feel unfit. The pace is slower to improve awareness, interoception, blood flow, activate the parasympathetic nervous system and dampen the stress response.

“I am feeling anxious or depressed. I am worried about feeling overwhelmed in class”
I am a trauma-informed teacher with mental health training. I aim to create and maintain a safe and supportive space for all students. There are no hands-on assists in classes to respect individual boundaries. No one is singled out. Students experiencing overwhelm can take a break or leave at any time.
